  2. Type the following command and press Enter:
    net user <username> /add

    Replace <username> with the desired username for the new account.

For example:

  2. Type the following command and press Enter:
    useradd /create /name:<username>

    Replace <username> with the desired username for the new account.

This will create a new user account with the username "john".

Method 3: Using the dsadd command (Windows Server and later)

  2. Type the following command and press Enter:
    dsadd user <username>
